A quantum particle in an infinitely deep square well has a wave function that is given by                                          ψ1(x) = √2/Lsin (πx/L)for 0 ≤ x ≤ L and is zero otherwise. (a) Determine the probability of finding the particle between x = 0 and x = 1/3L.(b) Use the result of this calculation and a symmetry argumentto find the probability of finding the particle between x = 1/3 L and x = 2/3 L. Do not re-evaluate the integral.
Consider a particle in 1D Box with length L,  and in a state n = 4. What is the probability of finding the particle in the first 1/3 part of the box?  exactly 1/4 exactly 1/6 less than 1/3 less than 1/4 none
A quantum particle is described by the wave function ψ(x) = A cos (2πx/L) for −L/4 ≤ x ≤ L/4 and ψ(x) everywhere else. Determine:
